Trim, mouldings and finishes make a room, your dollhouse is no different! The One Room Challenge is chugging along and they actually extended it to seven weeks because of all the disarray caused by those nasty hurricanes!

We were joking, but it was funny that when she stopped to think of it she didn't have a single picture of Jesus in her home. I on the other hand, may have swung the ... continue reading...
